Default Blues Testo

Turn off the light bulb ache to a shrieking pain
Turn that hair into a haircut
And change your name

Through the yellow teeth white lies are told
Of the notches made in the house of smoke
So pick the padlock keys
From the padlocked room
Wipe the smile from your face
And sing the default blues
And go
What are you running from, a-ha
What are you running from, ahh
It passed me by but it's never gone
What are you running from, ahh

This is textbook heartbreak from the country school
The description sculpture of a thoughtless stool
You've got your heroin monologues
That you lifted from boots

Now you're wearing a helmet
Whilst you're breaking the rules
Pick the padlock keys
In the padlocked room
Wipe the smile from your face
And sing the default blues

And go What are you running from, a-ha
What are you running from, ahh
It passed me by but it's never gone
What are you running from, ahh
What are you running from, a-ha
What are you running from, ahh
The accent you hid behind is gone
What are you running from, ahh

There isn't a cure, there isn't a cure
There isn't a cure
Save your wax world torture
For your modeling friends
Speak emotional trash
Right from (?)'s bin

Pick the padlock keys
In the padlocked room
Wipe the smile from your face
And sing the default blues

Go
What are you running from, a-ha
What are you running from, ahh
The accent you hid behind is gone
What are you running from, ahh
What are you running from, a-ha
What are you running from, ahh
It passed me by but it's never gone
What are you running from, ahh
